Manchester-based black metal menace COLD FELL are getting ready to unleash their debut album via the always quality label Argento Records, and we are highly anticipating the March release of Irwell, a bleak and terrifying vision of the dark, hostile landscapes that make up the north of England – landscapes both human and natural. Today we’re sharing the opening track off this grim album, “Skull Crushed Against Salford Cobblestones,” a brutal assault on your sense! You can pre-order Irwell on vinyl here, so head over to Argento Records after you have listened to our exclusive stream below!
